A.W. Tozer addresses the issue of disillusionment with the church, arguing that many find it intolerable due to a lack of clear purpose and direction beyond mundane activities. He emphasizes that the early Christians were driven by a profound understanding of their role in God's eternal plan, which included predestination, redemption, and the promise of an eternal inheritance. This knowledge fueled their enthusiasm and commitment to Christ, contrasting sharply with the spiritless nature of many modern congregations. Tozer calls for a revival of this sense of purpose to reignite passion and zeal within the church community.
